I sit here below the light
And I write these words to you
I’m thinking how time just flies
Years and yesterdays
I feel like they’re new

I remember those cold, cold nights
Felt like they started out new
We only saw pitch-black
And the man in the moon

We look from the outside
We’ve distanced the pain
We’ve boxed disappointments
And put them away
We don’t cry anymore
And every once in a while
There’s a smile

Now we let expectations
Fill the room of your heart
Shape it then break it
‘Til we drifted apart

Now we look from the outside
We’ve distanced the pain
We’ve boxed disappointments
And put them away
We don’t cry anymore
And every once in a while
There’s a smile

Now we look from the outside
We’ve distanced the pain
We’ve boxed disappointments
And put them away
We don’t cry anymore
And every once in a while
There’s a smile
In this afternoon
As I write these words to you
A little while then our hope renewed
We look up to the sky

Just you and I
And the man in the moon
